Work Related Death – how NECS Works can help.

A work related death or occupational death can have a huge impact on any type of business when dealing with the trauma of this situation.

Obviously reporting a death in the workplace will involve the police and Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and a Work Related Death Protocol must be followed, however, the impact and shock of a occupational death can have further repercussions in terms of dealing with staff members emotions, such as grief and may be anger. Your business will still need to continue to operate but dealing with a work related death

A local transport company employed a staff member who was killed in an accident while on business. The staff team were very close and all of the staff members were affected by the trauma of this situation. NECS deployed 7 counsellors to site following the fatality and provided counselling support to staff in either groups or individually within days of the event. Support was provided to each staff member as they required it and also provided support to managers in the form of skills development to enable them to keep support staff when the counselling support ended.

A work related death is not a common occurrence. The HSE in 2016/17 reported 137 fatalities at work, with the construction, agricultural and manufacturing sectors being most affected. Thankfully, many owner/managers will not ever deal with such a traumatic experience, however, if ever required, NECS Works can help.

NECS Works can provide a fast response to any business that has to deal with this traumatic experience. We specialise in providing bespoke solutions to deal with staff trauma, support management with emotional well-being.
